LEMON-SQUEEZER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed July 19, 1909. Serial No. 508,405.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, PAUL FILLER, a subject of the German Emperor, andresiding at J oachimsthalerstrasse 19, Berlin, Germany, have inventedcertain new and useful Improvements in Lemon-Squeezers, of which thefollowing is a specification.

My invention relates to that kind of lemon squeezers used as tablerequisites which consist of a flexible stirrup or curved piece ofmaterial, with a holding device for the lemon slices.

The object of my invention is to provide such lemon squeezers with asupportlng device, so that they can be held in a slanting position. Thisis necessary on the one hand in order to bring the squeezer with thelemon slices in a more convenient position for use, and on the otherhand to prevent the same from lyin in the sauces or gravies suppliedwith the Food.

In the accompanying drawing two different forms of construction of thenew lemon squeezer are illustrated.

Figure '1 shows a side view of one form, Fig. 2 a perspective view,showing the device in use, Fig. 3 shows a modified form in side view,and Fig. 4 is a vertical section of the same.

a is the usual flexible stirrup with the pressing parts a, b are flapsor projections which prevent the slices of lemon sliding out sidewise.The points 0 bent out of the pressing arts a in connection with theflexible e ect of the stirrup are to secure the lemon slices inposition; 03 is the supporting device, which in the example shown inFigs. 1 and 2, consists of an arm projecting from the top of thestirrup. At the bottom end of this supporting device there is provided aclamp e for attaching the lemon squeezer to the rim of a plate or thelike.

It is to be seen from Fig. I that instead of Patented Jan. 18,1910.

one supporting device, several can be provided, in order to achieve thepurpose of the invention. For instance the lower edges of the sides canalso be so formed, that they act at the same time as supporting devices(Fig. 3). The form and the application of the points and flaps isimmaterial.

What I claim as my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

1. In a lemon squ'eezer in-combination, a flexible stirrup, holdingdevices for the lemon slices on said stirrup, and a sup orting device onsaid stirrup, substantial y as set. forth.

2. In a lemo'n'squeezer in combination, a flexible stirrup, a holdingdevice on said stirrup for securing the lemon slices in position, and asupporting arm projecting trom the top of said stirrup, and a clampprovided on said arm, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto signed my name this 6th day of July1909, in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

PAUL FILLER.
